Eastbound & Down stars former Major League pitcher Kenny Powers (Danny McBride), who is forced to teach gym class at the North Carolina middle school he once attended. Wherever he goes, Kenny wreaks havoc with his boorish behavior while plotting his triumphant return to the big leagues.

Husband and I gave this set to several family members for Christmas and we were the hit of the season! We've received phone calls and emails from recipients spouting series lines, so we're thrilled to get even more laughs because of Kenny. If I could change anything, I'd make the episodes an hour long. I hope season 2 doesn't disappoint by curbing the cussing and storylines.

Every episode I watched I couldn't wait for the next. You really feel for this guy. I think we've all had "Kenny" moments in our life at one time or another. That's why we all relate. Comedy definitely comes out of tragedy. From the first episode knowing he's a spoiled ex ballplayer, his brothers inspiration, to out of my seat pounding on the table with tears in my eyes after episode 5, I love this show. The rest of cast is terrific as well. Well thought out, original and well done. Bring it back! We love you Kenny Powers!

There has not been a weekly show since that have looked forward to every week. When is the 2nd season beginning "anyways"? Great gut wrenching laughs throughout the show. Kenny and all characters where excellent...great chemistry and story line. Can't wait until next Season. Thought the show was better then the already successful Sorprano's, which I was a huge fan of too!!

This is one of those really funny, laugh out loud shows. I really like all of the characters and am excited to see where the story line is going. I constantly search HBO for episodes and finally just started recording them to watch over. I'm suprised and disappointed that we haven't seen more episodes and the espisodes that are aired are only aired every couple weeks. This show was a major factor in my decision to keep HBO and I think it's much better than Entourage or Sex in the City..In with the new already!

Eastbound and Down blends excellent casting with great characters and a very entertaining and hilarious story line. I've watched all six episodes several times, and it never gets old. Everyone who I've shown episodes to have been hooked.

HBO needs to lock in more than just a season at a time contract, and get the word out about this comedic masterpiece. The only negative about this show is it's lack of exposure... it needs more shows, showings, and a better time slots. Get the word out and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

I showed a few friends who hadn't heard about the show and we all had stomach pains the next morning from laughing so hard. Jefferson Davis Middle School needs their AMERICAN ICON/P.E. coach back for a new LONGER season. Funniest show on T.V.whew!
